  • We've added a new quest: "A Melody Remembered". A mysterious jewellery box lays on an abandoned desk in the Stormtouched Highlands. There's a riddle printed on the lid, and a strange recess in it.
  • There's a new activity for you - keep your eyes peeled for Statues of Saradomin can be found dotted around the world. Track down the clues and earn a reward that shows your loyalty and faith.
  • 100 Runes per standard anima vent, up from 40.
  • 300 Runes from a concentrated vent, up from 80.
  • We've added the winning design from our Community Cape Contest - congratulations to SuizzyOwl for the amazing design! Please check out the full list of entries here . The cape will be available at the Crafting Table for all players! Pick up some Ash Logs to unlock the crafting bench and the cape will be available.
  • We have now added a toggle setting to "Hide Helmet" for players in the in-game settings menu. This will hide the visual aspect of the Headwear, but you will still be able to benefit from its effects.
  • Spades and Nets have had their durability values reconfigured. The time it takes to break tools is now much more in line with expectations. No sudden durability drops!
  • Fishing activities now trigger music as intended. Lovely.
  • You can now skip the Jagex logo cutscene upon startup. We'll judge you though, that dragon looks so cool.
  • Players who unlocked the Farmers Hat prior to a hotfix we deployed can now retroactively gain the recipe by speaking to the Scarecrow.
  • Resolved an issue where only one node was damaged by a tool despite damage floaties showing multiple hits.
  • Fixed a bug where the Compost Bin would only accept Dwellberries that had already been dried. Juicy.
  • The entrance to Dowdun had two torches positioned right on top of each other - thanks to community member arkamos.odc for reporting this!
  • Fixed an issue where in-game chat would require "Enter" to be input twice to open the chat after the first use.
  • Resolved an issue where Cows, Chickens and Kebbits would still not aggro onto a player once they had been attacked.
  • Fixed an issue with "Cook's Assistant" where exiting dialogue with the Cow after feeding it wheat would consume the wheat without progressing the quest.
  • The "Advert-Inna-Bottle" now correctly specifies that the Arrow Grabba collects "Arrows and Bolts" to accurately define that it works with both.
  • Fixed an issue where Trees would not respawn when too close to player constructions due to the larger blocking radius.
  • Fixed an issue where the "Return to the Dreaming Stone" and "Defeat the Gatekeeper" quest objectives lacked an objective marker.
  • Fixed an issue where Ghost Mode incorrectly depicted the Stone Range as built, rather than in it's ghostly, unfinished form. Oooh, spooky.
  • Fixed an issue where Fishing Potions did not display correct tooltips.
  • We've updated the Sugar Rush perk's icon and description, you lucky little cooks, you.
  • Patched various holes and collision meshes in Dowdun. Gosh, it's like this place is falling into chaos or something...
  • Resolved an issue where controller menus within the settings screen could sometimes cause a crash.

  • Runecrafting decorations no longer give Runecrafting XP. Stop that, those things are fragile you know!
  • Patched various holes in Dowdun Reach.

  • Ava's Attractor will not collect arrows if you have disabled Auto-Magnetise World Items in the Settings Menu.
